A 5602 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides that organ donor designation on driver's license or identification card remains upon renewal of license or card under certain circumstances.

This bill ensures that New Jersey residents who have already chosen to be organ donors on their driver's license or state ID card will automatically retain that status when renewing their license or card, without needing to re-select it. The state's driver's license agency must only offer the organ donor option to new applicants who haven't previously designated as donors. Existing donors can remove their status through a simple process, but otherwise, their donor choice remains active through all renewals. This change simplifies the process for organ donors and prevents accidental loss of their designation during routine license renewals.
